Despite Greta Gerwig and the producers of Barbie initially having a bit of doubt surrounding Ryan Gosling’s casting, the actor is now making headlines for a potential spin-off movie on his character, Ken. The director finally addressed fans’ curiosity surrounding the spin-off film.
While Greta Gerwig breaks her silence on the potential spinoff movie, fans, and award groups start a campaign to push Ryan Gosling as the best supporting actor in Barbie. The actor is thus witnessing a major turn of events after starring in Margot Robbie’s blockbuster.
Greta Gerwig on a Potential Ken Spin-Off Movie
Following the release of her latest film, the out-of-the-box blockbuster Barbie, Greta Gerwig is facing a lot of questions about a potential sequel and spin-offs. While her film turned into the highest-grossing movie of the year, bringing in billions of dollars, the director remained silent all this while.
However, during a recent interview with CBS News, Greta Gerwig broke her silence on a potential Ken spin-off. Initially starting the conversation about her work with Noah Baumbach on Barbie, Gerwig proceeded to speak about Ryan Gosling’s “Ken effect” in the real world. That’s when the interviewer asked, “would there ever be a Ken movie?”
“I mean, the truth is, you know…I guess we’ll see,” Gerwig replied.
Smiling at the question and answering subtly, Greta Gerwig didn’t completely rule out the possibility of making a Ken spin-off. Previously claiming during the interview about having “way too much material for Ken”, Gerwig seems to hint at the possibility of a spin-off on Gosling’s character.
